[quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of people consider redshirting because they themselves were top of their class academically, and want to ensure that their kids are also. They wouldn't be content if they're children were middle of the pack. I have absolutely no data to back this up--this is just my suspicion given the demographic that tends to post here. On another note, white boys from affluent families are most likely to be redshirted. There is some evidence that redshirting exacerbates the achievement gap--I'd suspected this, but first article I'm seeing that supports this possibility: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09645292.2018.1468873 [/quote]
